dialogue Nats Committee letters Model Aviation newsletters seek define articulate purpose emphatically state no way claim definitive set rules fact modified upon counsel after first reading November 1994 meeting leads second reason developing standing rules placing relatively general guidelines within standing rules may easily refined Long periods intricate activity necessary effect change can fact receive direct input modification regular Executive Council meeting Most elements selfexplanatory fit present standard practices two points element event cancellation category champions category champion concept fairly straightforward probably will prompt questions concerns practice will require some careful bookworkand year particular some delay naming individual due time frame holding some events event cancellation section will course evoke comment CL RC Scale events canceled 1994 significant number individuals expressed displeasure Interestingly number voicing concern did because disagreed concept rather because interpreted words page 2 Competition Regulations stating could done under circumstances will serve constructive purpose reopen debate Its done However rationale cancellation concept inclusion standing rules should addressed First issue competition level Respondents over last few months have virtually agreed national championship should feature meaningful levels competition small numbers championship make Secondly element economics involved point has made inclusion lesser-populated events may actually create revenue because encourages person come fly multiple events rather just two premise remains proven does whether additional expenses offset resolve event cancellation conflict following has introduced Urgent Rule Proposal CANCELLATION DUE TO LOW ENTRY page 2 Replace present text following Cancellation advertised event day contest because low entry may done participant has shown fly advertised event must permitted enter event includes class

mail dates location 2 Clubs Special Interest Groups may have traditional sanctioned contests designations AA AAA scheduled conflict dates Nats have option rescheduling jeopardy losing traditional date status future years concepts stated standing rules Bylaws two basic reasons First presently have nothing printed provides purpose Nats Over years have articulated purposes May1995 131 during Executive Council meetings have tended wander purpose depending upon needs individual interpretations time discussion concepts presented gleaned 80 pages text letters received Technical Director phone calls dialogue Nats Committee letters Model Aviation newsletters seek define articulate purpose emphatically state no way claim definitive set rules fact modified upon counsel after first reading November 1994 meeting leads second reason developing standing rules placing relatively general guidelines within standing rules may easily refined Long periods intricate activity necessary effect change can fact receive direct input modification regular Executive Council meeting Most elements selfexplanatory fit present standard practices two points element event cancellation category champions category champion concept fairly straightforward probably will prompt questions concerns practice will require some careful bookworkand year particular some delay naming individual due time frame holding some events event cancellation section will course evoke comment CL RC Scale events canceled 1994 significant number individuals expressed displeasure Interestingly number voicing concern did because disagreed concept rather because interpreted words page 2 Competition Regulations stating could done under circumstances will serve constructive purpose reopen debate Its done However rationale cancellation concept inclusion standing rules should addressed First issue competition level Respondents over last few months have virtually agreed national championship should feature meaningful levels competition small numbers championship make Secondly element economics involved point has made inclusion lesser-populated events may actually create revenue because encourages person come fly multiple events rather just two premise remains proven does whether additional expenses offset resolve event cancellation conflict following has introduced Urgent Rule Proposal CANCELLATION DUE TO LOW ENTRY page 2 Replace present text following Cancellation advertised event day contest because low entry may done participant has shown fly advertised event must permitted enter event includes class model originally advertised instances pre-entry required cancellation event due low entry may occur instances 45 days exist between pre-entry deadline contest Upon cancellation event events contest management shall required inform pre entered individuals cancellation mail Please note some safety valves inserted proposal will also note discrepancy cutoff between standing rules 30 days cancellation proposal 45 days facilitate postmark deadlines actually getting letters mail Also note generally addressing large events require pre-entry have placed competitor jeopardy showing up having event canceled day due low entry individuals conversant Contest Board Rule Proposal document should noted Urgent proposal treated according following guidelines 1 An Urgent Proposal neither interpretation nor necessarily related safety will constitute actual change rules therefore justification type proposal must very closely scrutinized prevent abuse 2 proposal forwarded Contest Board

responsibility Executive Council Still others combined EC/CB Past reviews jurisdiction arrangements attorneys clearly indicate however Executive Council must retain residual plenary power laymans terms means Executive Council possesses overriding final authority matters During tenure Technical Director have worked diligently prevent such overriding vote noteworthy negotiations have always prevented such activity conclusion discussion issue must contain comment trying work parties facilitate change look Nats Nobody seems deny change necessary degree nature source discussion May reiterate standing rules stepping-stone debate change assured pride authorship issue important concept now something work its very presence commands further action last item Elements conjecture
